Hearts #3
In a land besieged by war, they were sworn enemies—destined for a golden, glorious love...

Honor bade him give her up for ransom...but her love would prove the greatest treasure of all...

Sir William of Kensham stormed into the crude hut that was Cassandra Gavre's prison, furious that his men had defied orders to kill all Frenchmen who invaded the forests of the Weald—and only slightly mollified to find that his captive was the lovely young daughter of a French lord. The lavender-eyed beauty's ransom would aid King Henry's cause, and William prayed it would be accomplished quickly, having no liking for the company of haughty highborn ladies.

Yet Cassandra was no coy, spoiled maiden. Frightened yet fascinated by her handsome, notorious captor, she met his gaze unflinchingly...filling him with a longing it was torment to deny. And when at last they joined in mutual surrender, claiming a desperate, forbidden ecstasy, William swore that he would never give up the bold, passionate woman who was fated to be his bride.
